Minpō

Minpō is Japan's legal code established in 1900, serving as the foundation for its civil, criminal, and administrative laws. It consolidates statutes and regulations to provide a systematic legal framework, ensuring consistency and order in Japanese society. Minpō outlines legal procedures, rights, and responsibilities, making it essential for judges, lawyers, and citizens to understand their legal obligations and protections. While it has been amended over time, it remains a core reference for the functioning of Japan’s legal system, promoting rule of law and social stability.
